Cultivating Healing in the World
One Nervous System at a Time!
Inquiry
Curiosity opens the gateway for deeper learning. From this place, we begin to practice embodiment and learn to feel the stories that your body holds as lived experience.
When you practice with curious inquiry, you may discover new facets of your own inner truth and develop a deeper connection to who you really are.
This offers space to create more compassion, empathy, resilience and love for yourself and others.
This course may help you begin this process of curious inquiry, teaching you tools to begin to learn about your nervous system patterns and ways to bring more regulation, nourishment and compassion to your wellness journey.
Embodiment
Embodiment practices invite you to come home to your body and connect with your body’s innate intelligence.
When you have experienced trauma, you may left your body as a way to cope with the overwhelm. Somatic practices are invitations to heal trauma and regulate your nervous system. When you are able to feel deeply into your present moment experiences of joy, wonder and gratitude, you can then gently open to embody the painful, disconnected aspects of life.
This course will share with you many tools and resources to help you engage with care on this journey of coming home to your amazing body.
Resilience
Somatic practices offer tools to support self-regulation, inviting the experience of feeling & sensing your body while growing your window of tolerance.
By working with practices of inquiry and embodiment, you learn how to better cope with stress, as well as life’s inevitable challenges.
Your life story is unique. By doing this work you bring more resilience to the areas that may be triggering and difficult. When resilience expands, life may become more fluid, peaceful and freeing.
This course will explore with you somatic practices to help you grow this resilience with your emotions, mind, body, and spirit.

Week 1 Course Description
Foundations of your Nervous System and Somatic Practices for Healing Trauma
Presented by Dr. Sharon Stanley
Dr. Sharon Stanley is a psychotherapist, educator and writer living on Bainbridge Island, Washington. As a long-time student of neuropsychology, Sharon has integrated a variety of somatic practices for healing complex trauma into a relational, humanistic and phenomenological model called Somatic Transformation.
At the core of Somatic Transformation is embodied empathy, the practice of feeling into another’s inner world with a bodily-based attunement, connectivity and inquiry.
Grounded in relational practices for integrating complex trauma and guided by emerging research in Interpersonal Neurobiology, Sharon has taught this model to thousands of practitioners over the past 25 years. In 2016, Routledge published her book: Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma: Lifting the Burdens of the Past. Sharon is currently researching concepts and practices for a book on Spiritual Trauma.
